Abstract

Inactivity and sedentary lifestyles, particularly among women who primarily fulfill the role of housewives, are associated with a higher risk of obesity. The 2018 Indonesian Basic Health Research identified a significant prevalence of hypertension among adults aged 55-64, with a disproportionate burden on women. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between obesity and hypertension in women of productive age. This research used descriptive analytics with a cross-sectional design. Data were collected by interviews, blood pressure measurements, and central obesity measurements. The data were collected from Public Health Training Center Murnajati Lawang, Malang, Indonesia. The majority of participants belonged to the 46-55 age group and were non-working individuals. Among the total sample of 50 respondents, 19 (38%) experienced hypertension, with only 3 (6%) exhibiting central obesity. Dietary habits among respondents with central obesity included light to moderate consumption of items such as butter (52%), offal (34%), egg yolks (54%), shrimp (36%), cream milk (54%), mayonnaise (40%), and fatty meats (52%). However, the Fisher test results did not indicate a significant relationship (p= 0.279) between central obesity and hypertension. In conclusion, this study found no evidence of a direct association between central obesity and the incidence of hypertension in women of reproductive age.

Abstract

Highlight: • There was an increase in the accumulation of B3 waste in health centers during the COVID-19 pandemic. • The knowledge and skills level of health center staff in medical THM waste management before and after medical THM waste management training were determined. • Medical THM waste management training was increasing the knowledge and skills level of health center staff. Abstract: The generation of medical toxic and hazardous material (THM) waste at public health centers tends to increase during the Covid-19 pandemic. Only 6.89% of the health centers have medical waste management practices that meet the standards. Medical waste management practices not in accordance with the procedures can be a source of infection, even though only 56% of health workers have good knowledge and attitudes in solid medical waste management. For this reason, it is necessary to increase the skills of health center staff in managing medical THM waste during the Covid-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of knowledge and skills of health center staff in medical THM waste management before and after medical THM waste management training. The training participants were 20 health center staffs who filled out a pretest questionnaire to measure their level of knowledge and skills prior to the training. The training materials include THM waste, medical THM waste, medical THM waste management and medical THM Temporary Storage. After the training, a post-test was conducted to measure the knowledge and skills scores of the trainees. The results of this study indicated that there was a significant difference in knowledge before and after training (p < 0.05). The average knowledge score before training was 6.2 (sufficient knowledge) and after training 8.15 (good knowledge). There was a significant difference in skill scores before and after training (p <0.05). The average skill before training was 6.3 (adequate) and after training 8.65 (good). In conclusion, there was an increase in the skills of health center staff in managing medical THM waste during covid-19 pandemic after participating in medical THM waste management training by the Community Service Team, Department of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Airlangga, Surabaya, Indonesia.
